Hi Dick!
It's great to see a familiar face on this forum. I love your nature/Smokies shots and that first image is no exception. The colors are so beautiful and the image so peaceful. Nothing compares to a morning spent with nature as the sun rises. Your deer/wildlife shots always make me envious in a good sort of way! I've often mumbled to myself, "man, that Richard is either one heck of a photographer or just a lucky guy." Now, I know that it takes a little of both -- luck puts a person into a situation, but it is skill in knowing how to interact with the situation to unleash its beauty.
